Sometimes looking for subject matter I roam around the house a while looking in closets, cupboards, wherever, to find something interesting. I think of myself like a chicken pecking the ground trying to find edible bits. While pecking last night after dinner, my husband noticed and thought I was funny. He was in the kitchen making chocolate chip cookies.

Tomorrow and Friday I'll paint on the streets of Old Town Tustin. I hope I get a good one for the competition on Saturday. I learned today that on Saturday 60 artists will show and sell their work. Wow! Twice the number of last year! If you're in the area I hope to see you there. For more info click here.

Oreos and Milk SOLD

One of my favorite treats---harder to paint than I thought! The first hurdle as all the elipses. Next came trying to get the values right. White things are not really white. The only pure whites are the highlights on the rim of glass and plate. The grandkids visited when the set-up had been sitting for two days; "Joel, don't drink that milk, and don't move those cookies!"
